Lalalalalalalalala

Yes, I am at the point of putting my hands up over my ears and loudly singing, "Lalalalalalalala I can't hear you!"

Denial. Not just a river in Egypt, but a place for me to settle into for a while.

Life is great! Life is grand! Not a care in the world!

Denial. Yep, that's gonna be me for a bit.


Oh, and by the way, happy International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Aaaaarrrrrrrrr...

Where's the Dust Pan?

FYI, I’m working on a post for Thursday Therapy that is a nice meaty thing. (Hmm, why did my mind go straight to the gutter after typing that? Hmm. . . ) This post, however, is fluff, just stuff floating around in my head the way gnats swarm rotten apples. This post is clearing my mind the way I need to sweep the floor under my bed.

Bit of fluff #1: I am sick and tired of the hoards and swarms of aphids flying around. According to local news sources the aphids live on soybeans during the summer and are now moving to their winter quarters on some other kind of plant. Would y’all just find a place and settle please? Thank you.

Dust bunny #2: I dreamed last night someone came in and cleaned my entire house for me – for free! – without any expectation of me doing anything in return! Alas, some dreams are just too good to be true, as I found when I woke up and opened my eyes to the same pig sty as always.

Cobweb #3: I missed Talk Like a Pirate Day again this year. Hmmph. I am bummed over that. I so want to have a party celebrating that day one of these years.

Scrap of thread #4: I’ve been trying to pursue a relationship with a woman (via the internet, natch) instead of a man since the breakup. You know, just trying to set men (idiots that they are) aside for a while other than caretaking W. Alas, one woman IRL on whom I have a major crush is absolutely 100% straight with no desire to explore otherwise. I know this because we talked about it long before I developed my crush during a casual conversation about men, women, dating, etc. Therefore, I will, of course, not even approach her. Damn her for looking so hot every time I see her though.

Piece of lint #5: Of course, as soon as I turn my focus on women a man pops up with major potential as a FWB. We spent an interesting evening a few nights ago sparring via text message and an even more interesting lunch yesterday. So, does an 11 year age difference make me a cougar?

I Done Been Tagged

I've been tagged by The Silent Male for an interesting little photo thing.

The idea is to post a specific, yet random photo -- specifically (yet, also, randomly...) the 4th photo from the 4th folder. Now, this was a bit of a problem as I don't have four folders of photos. So this is the fourth photo in the last (third) folder. I was surprised that I even had three folders given that I don't even have a digital camera, but then remembered I'd downloaded some photos into folders.

Whatever. Here's the photo I found.


This is N at least a couple of years ago. Obviously, he's a pirate, a fact that you all probably didn't know. Also obviously, he's adorable, but I think I've shared that fact with you before.

Thanks SM for the tag.

Happy Celebrate Bisexuality Day!

Learn more here.

In honor of today, go kiss a bisexual! They'll be flattered whether you're the same or opposite gender of them so you can't lose!

Who knew September had such cool holidays? First "Talk Like a Pirate Day" on September 19 and now "Celebrate Bisexuality Day" on September 23. This is definitely worth hosting a party next year with a bisexual pirate theme. I love it! I am so putting this on my calendar for next year. Party! Party! Party!

Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day!

How could I not have known about this? If only N didn't have the "Big Soccer Tournament" this weekend I totally could have planned a kickass pirate party. Oh well. There's always next year. I've got a whole year to plan!

Check out the official Talk Like a Pirate website.

Arr, mateys, ye be invited next year to me house for a roarin' good party. Get your swashbucklin' gear together!
